Hi guys.

I need help installing one of the manual boost controllers onto my r32 gtst.

I cant for the life of me find where to insert it tho i have found plenty opf manuals for the r33, nothing for my 32 can i find.

I really need pics so if anyone has a pic of where they put theirs on their 32 stocky then plz let me know.

Thanks in Advance.

woul dlike to know this too :banana:

thanks

I'm pretty sure its the same for a 32 but this is what i did in simplified form.

- Locate solenoid. Take off the top hose and put a bolt in it to block it off and cable tie to secure.

- The hose on the bottom of the solenoid should be connectod to a T piece.

- Remove the T-Piece.

- ur boost controller will replace this.

- As in the pics of Turbotech...follow instructions...bottom barb to turbo..side barb to actuator.

MAKE SURE YOU UNPLUG THE SOLENOID.

Hope this helps!

Searched for like 2 hours and nothing on the rb20's only 25's.

I found the wastegate and there is a line coming from the bottom of it and im guessing this is the line i need to put it on.

I dont think us rb20's have this solenoid and stock t piece so im guessing i have to cut this line and put it in.

If i get a confirmation that its the correct line ill put a pic so others can see for the rb20's

No offence, but I honestly think, if you cant figure out how to install a bleeder to your import by understanding the dynamics, or find the answer on the interweb, you should be taking it to a mechanic.

Come on guys im sure you can be a little more helpful, they're obviously new to this. I had no idea either when i first started, and i didn't bother asking questions like this coz i knew this was exactly the type of answer i would receive.

anyway, 32s don't have a std boost solenoid so don't worry about that

If you can see the turbo it's fairly easy,

theres a hose coming off the turbo housing to the wastegate actuator, cut the hose and plumb the controller into it. you might need to get a longer hose. I cant remember which way it's supposed to face so check your instructions but as far as i remember, the nipple opposite the big screw is supposed to face the wastegate actuator and the other horizontal nipple goes to the turbo housing

r32woohoo is spot on - r32 has a pneumatic wastegate actuator and it alone controls the max. boost pressure & when the wastegate opens.

the controller goes between the wastegate actuator nipple and the turbo compressor housing nipple.

he is also spot on the assessment of some ppl's attitude on this forum - we've gotta start somewhere, we've all started out as a newbie.

it helps if you understand how it all works but i really don't think we need the answers like "if you can't understand/do this, take it to the mechanic". some ppl DIY to save money, others do it to understand and learn. this is not really personal to you GeeTR, just an observation and a suggestion.

cheers

cheers guys.

i knew where the hose was and what i had to do, just wasnt sure if the 32 had a solenoid like the 33 does.

but thanks for the feed back. it does clarify things when someone that knows exactly what they are doing (not people like myself that sorta no what to do) pass information on to others so they now know what they are doing

cheers again

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
